By the way, how does know the difference between a description and a criticism?
Disclaimer: I'm not referring to anyone specifically here. General question.
Great question. I think ultimately it comes down to intent. Trying to change someone? Trying to influence them? That's a criticism.
I also think trying to describe someone can be hurtful though by doing damage to that persons subjective experience. There is a fine metaphysical line between offering light and pushing light and it's so hard to see the line.
My description of unity, from my own subjective perspective, is that he's not interested in my descriptions of him or my subjective experience. I experience his words as indicating that he does not want my light or love. Which I completely respect. But once he communicates this it seems wrong to keep offering, and especially wrong to try and influence him or convince him.
What do you guys think?
